Looking to get a rental car at Islip Macarthur Airport (ISP) in New York. I'll be there on Dec 5 and returning it on Dec 6. The cheapest I could find was Hertz for $44.54 using the AAA discount. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

If you are flying in and will only drive in NJ/NY, Dollar has a car for $24.44.

Otherwise, Priceline may be a good choice - not sure if they serve ISP though.

Szymon

thanks.. just booked it! wow.. didn't realize its $9 an hour for each hour over 24 hrs.. might need it 26 hours.. wonder if there is anyway around that..

have the same question. Just booked the reservation online and didn't find anywhere that says to bring anything besides driver's license and cc... hope it's true

Make sure to book for the exact time you need it for. Dollar is known to charge fees if you return the car later than originally reserved for.

Hmm...is this normal? I booked a minivan with National using the GA corp number (with 2 child seats)....and got a great rate around $390 for 5 days. In teh confirmation it says...Type of Service = Counter. Guess that means I can't bypass it?? Just a little worried as this is the first time I'm using one of these deals and not actually a GA employee.

I am looking for One way Small Car rental from Las Vegas to Las Angeles ( Dec 21st to Dec 25th )I tried the link for One way rental but leads me to the last page of this forum.

Any Codes for One Way rental for better price?

Thanks

Probably the best thing to do would be to split up the rental. Meaning, rent a one day one way, and then a regular rental.

Any coupon for National?I'm renting a minivan at Tucson from 1/1 to 1/4. The lowest rate is $147 from National (ID#5004625). Priceline does not accept $42 a day (last year I got a minivan for $37 there). Any coupon can be applied to National? Most of those listed expire by 12/31/07.

Hi,

I'm from canada and plan to travel to Tampa, FL during Christmas. Can I use these contract ID for better rental car price (National e.g.) ? Isn't it too obvious that my address does not match with the contact ID company address ?

Thanks for your help. Those contact ID reduced the cost of rental to 1/3 and I really wish I can use them.

Hey fatwalleters!

I have a question about National

National said: National]

Update 11.07.07

Under 25 Drivers

If you are under 25 use the Big 10 contract code. If you are under 21 use this code code.

Does this work any state including california? I 22 years old and planning to rent the biggest SUV for lake Tahoe 7 passengers.Living in Hayward, CA dates are jan 3-5th

Booked from National for Dec 20-22 at TPA, MiniVan, with 2 booster seats. Normal rate is $320 and with contract ID 5004625, it goes down to $158.

I also applied a free Emerald Club membership and hope to bypass the counter. However, after my booking I clearly see "service level: counter" in my confirmation as they may picked up something very obvious: my home address is in Canada yet I'm using the above code for State of GA.

When I tried to apply the Emerald Club membership through the link on the first page, it says the annual fee is $50. How to apply a free one? Does the membership provide $2 off a day for online reservation? How to bypass the counter? Forgive my stupid questions.

I'm new here but here is what I see: I tried one of the free EC membership link in the first post and during the application, I remember reading a message that says no fees. Maybe I'm wrong ? Anyway, checked my credit card transactions and did not see a charge from them (did this last night).

Did not pay attention to the $2 discount as I get more than $50 discount from the contract ID. Just I had a feeling it won't go through at the counter.

As to how to bypass the counter, that's what I would like to find out myself ...

That's exactly what I see in my booking confirmation. I also called National and the guy confirmed that I need to go through counter and he is asking "you must be a State of Georgia employee ?" to which I don't know what to answer.

I have friends that have used the Hertz IBM CDP (But they had a little bit of difficulty) With Avis, I know some people that used Avis's Gevoha AWD G298100 (they registered with Preferred first, I dont know if that helped or not)

TIPS FOR CANADIAN RENTALS

I spent literally hours playing around with discount codes and trying to get the best rates on a van rental in Toronto, Ontario for December 31-Jan 4/07. The best price I ended up with was a discount code from Ohio State University - but I wasn't sure if it would work here or not and wasn't comfortable booking it. The rate with the OSU code was $256 for 4 days. I came across the WestJet , which has a bunch of discount codes for different car rental companies. I ended up getting a rate of $228(half of all other rental agencies!) for a van through National by using a combination of the WestJet codes and my Emerald Club number.

Try the Westjet Contract ID: 3711440 with the IATA #:NC605055 and then add in your Emerald club number.

Btw, I'm betting that a coupon code or two would work in here as well, but I couldn't find one for the time I'm booking.

Happy Booking!

It bypasses the fee for underage. It does not bypass the restriction itself.

blanchard said: I am trying to book for a small car for Dec-15 to Dec-16 one-way Detroit, MI to Columbus, OH. I am new in this rental car game, I almost spinning around in this forum for more than 2-days now. I have Hertz #1 Gold and National Emerald also.

The best I could get is $80+tax etc? through National. Can some one help me with finding a better price?

Just to let u know $80+ tax for a one way rental is really good. I work with national and believe me i have seen one-way rates for the same time period and same length for $200, $500, and sometimes $1000. I think this site is awesome. I hate working there, but they normally do have the best prices and service around. One of the very few companys that actually allow one-ways and driving out of state.

Also Enterprise bought out National/Alamo (they are sister companies) about 2 months ago and are closing the east coast center down. Yet those duchebags are going to keep the call center in India open!!! yeah, great way to support the American worker...so much for an American family owned business. Sorry about the rant i can't stand outsourcing, brutal for the economy.

So while im here I'll stick it to the "Man". Heres some goodiesContract ID5710311 - Coburg Dairy; waives the young renters fee (21-24) and free LDW full; free one car class upgrade (Midsize->Fullsize; only experienced that one)

Product code:RRWE - for a better weekend rate; Now if you call in let the agent know to put it in the product code field.

More tidbits: Emerald club is free and awesome. Emerald aisle is available at some locations.Remember to book in advance..but not too far in advance, cause rates are weird when its too far in the future.if u have made a reservation for a future date, call once a week till the time of rental, and ask to see if the rate has changed. All the agent does is put in 'best' where the rate code is..sometimes its cheaper sometimes its more/same. i have seen some rates get cut in half or doubled.

For the love of God! don't book with any online budget websites AKA Priceline, Orbitz...they actually rip u off. Say you want to cancel it...say hello to cancelation fees. If you want to modify it, dont call National/Alamo cause that agent cant do anything for you except make a new reservation.

And lastly, dont be a prick with the American res agents. They only get paid $7.25/hr and have to deal with EMC members that think they are gods and should get everything their way. I'm so glad im putting my 2 weeks soon. Its going to be a glorious day!

Well if you have any questions about there policies or whatever, i'll try my best to answer them. Also I'll try to scavange any codes, and goodies i can before i leave that hell hole or what i like to call Satans a$$hole!!

Please try to refrain from those comments. You obviously still don't know about outsourcing, so it's time for you to go educate yourself.

I don't think the IATA is necessary, but it doesn't hurt to add it. The IATA number basically identifies Westjet as the travel agency - the number allows them to sell airfare and travel services. Personally, I don't mind including it if it helps to track referrals through Westjet and keep their contract rates so low! I left it alone because when I clicked the link through Westjet both the Contract ID and IATA number were filled in. But just FYI, I put in the exact same information without the IATA number and came up with the same rates.

wow... pretty big loss here. that list was very helpful in getting the best rates ever! last time i used it, i got a 2 day rental of a luxury with insurance coverage for under $50. anybody has a copy of the list? it would be highly appreciated if somebody relists the stuff. thanks.

Discount prices too high? Make a confirmed reservation using one of these links and then a couple days before your travel, go to Price-line and bid a lower price for your car than your confirmed reservation states. To find out what price you need to bid, go to Biddingfortravel.com and look it up. Use the Price-line link through Amazing-Bargains.com. Nationwide, the prices for full-sized cars run around $15-$20. For you Orlando, Florida visitors and if you are renting over a weekend, try $14 a day for a full size car and $19 a day for a minivan. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It takes a little patience putting in playing around with the different combinations, but you will save $$ and get upgrades if you spend the time.
